Anti-regime activists hacked Iran’s Badr satellite on Sunday, allowing them to access state TV channels and broadcast exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi‘s calls for Iranians to protest against the Islamic Republic, anti-regime outlets reported.

The footage was also shared by Pahlavi’s media department.

In the video, the broadcast appears to include messages in Farsi encouraging protesters to continue their activities, media footage of solidarity protests worldwide, and messages of support from international leaders.

The video then appears to show a statement from Pahlavi calling for further protests.
